FrenchiGraceDesigns: Lune de Sang

Adieu,

How many of you viewed the eclipse of the blood moon this morning? In my location, the spectacular sight occurred right before daybreak, which is the time I normally wake up and walk my dogs anyway, so I did not even have to adjust my schedule in order to watch the event unfold. In fact, observing la lune is a regular part of my morning ritual.

There is minimal lighting around my house (my neighborhood is somewhat rural), and my morning walks are affected by the different phases of the moon. Before I had dogs to walk, I rarely took the time to enjoy the sight of the morning sky, especially at that hour. Now I am attentive to the lovely moon, as I am partially dependant upon it to light my path. I love those great full moons which shine like lighthouse beacons. I sorely miss their passing when they wane or are hidden by clouds. There is something to be said for rising before the sun. As I look up, I picture the night sky as the earth's jewelry box, filled with sparkling diamonds...a neverending treasure chest of gems.

And, as for this morning's lune de sang, I watched for as long as I was able to withstand the drone and bite of the rabid mosquitoes buzzing around me. The sight was definitely worth the few itchy bumps I received. I hope you were able to observe it in your part of the world as well.
